Reuters news agency have published a number of quotes from celebrities about the aircraft. Jay Kay said "It's a fantastic thing to watch the sun set and then watch it rise and then set again. You fly so high I mean I've actually seen the curve -- the black line between night and day on earth -- because you're traversing it so much more quickly. So it's a beautiful thing." For those interested in the history of the aircraft, there's a detailed section at the BBC news web site.
